Sometimes stood up in the enchantment,
and sometimes tie effect was so overpower-
ing I felt could not endure it. When all
the voices were in full chorus, and all the
batons in full wave, and all the orchestra in
full triumph, and a hundred anvils under
mighty hammers were in full clang, and all
the towers of the city rolled in their majestic
sweetness, and the whole building quaked
with the boom of thirty cannon. Parepa
Rosa, with voice that will never again be
equaled on earth until the archangellc voice
proclaims that time shall be no longer, rose
above all other sounds in her rendering OF
our national air, the "Star Spangled Ban
ner." It was too much for mortal, and
quite enough for an immortal, to hear, and
while some tainted, one womanlv spirit, re-
leased under its power, sped away to be with
God
o Lord, our God, quickly usher in the
whole worlds peace jubilee, and all
islands of the sea join the five conti-
nents, and all the voices and musical
instruments of all nations combine, and all
the organs that ever sounded requiem of
sorrow sound only a grand march of joy, and
all the bells that tolled for burial ring for
resurrection, and all the cannon that ever
hurled death across the nations sound to
eternal victory. and over ali the acclaim of
earth and minstrely of heaven there will be
heard one voice sweeteer and michtier than
any human or angelic roice-a voice once
full of tears, but now full of triumph-the
voice Of Christ saying: II am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
and the last" Then at the laying Of the top
stone of the worlds history the same voices
shall be heard as when, at the laying OF the
worlds cornerstone, "the morning stars sang
together"

A peasant livi2e in Touraine lately in

A peasant livi2g in Touraine lately in
herited fortune OF $4,000, and in
stead OF remaining among his native
plains he came to ar;s and bloomed out
as nabob. NJ. Luzard-for so he was
called-hired spacious suit of rooms
on the Boulevard Montparnasse and took
in as partner young woman. This
female helped herself literally to the
good things in the parvenue's house,
and with the aid of male friend from
the other Boulevalds, whom she passed
off as her brother, stole $1,000 OF $500
and some jewels from her wealthy pro.
tector. The accomplices had taken the
p'ecaution before robbing the unsophis>
ticated Luzard to tie him to bed-post
and to gag his mouth. The nabob was
discovered in this dangerous and undig.
nifed position by his concierge, but his
two interesting friends have not yet been
found.

The Dogs Sense Of Smell.

Every one knows more or less of the
marvels of dogs sense of sreu, but
7 witnessed an instance of i the other
day which, in spite OF all i knew about
it, astonished NE. A long line of car
riages was standing N front of store
on Madison street, and as I was pass
ing small black-and-tan pet dog ran
out of the sto-e. He held up one
foot and looked bewildered for mo-
ment, and then ran to the carriage at
one end of the procession, and smelled
the hoof of the right fore foot of one
of the horses. he then went to the
second carriage and smelled the hoof
of the right fore foot Of one OF its
horses. Then he took the next car
riage, and then the next, until he had
taken the fifth carriage, when lie n;m-
bly, jumped into it, CURED himself up
on the seat, and went to sleep. That
was his way of finding out which was
the carriage of his mistress, who soon
afterward came out Of the store and
got into the same carriage The fact
that the horses hoof WAS made of horn
and that it had been plunged into all
sorts of mire all over tho streets was
nothing to him; that particular hoof
smelled differently to him from any
other horses hoof in the world, and no
other smell could be applied to it
which would efface this peculiar smell.
This illustrates another fact that is not
so often noticed, that dogs pcrcep-
tions through his eyes are very imper-
feet and often misleading. I have seen
dog that never relied on his eyes to
identity his own master, but would el-
ways smell him first, and then showed
in an instant that confidence was es-
tablished. If dogs ever converse, their
usual remark to each other at the close
of the dayis not @What have you seen :"
but "Well, what have you smelled
to-day?"-Chicago Journal.

Her First SEA Ea h.

This is i truthful and most accurate
description OF how woman arts when
she first puts on q bathing suit and ap-
pears before the world in it. At first
sight Of it she giggles convulsively and
titters out:
"Oh, I never, never can let anybody
see me with that oni"
"Oh, yes you can. Put it on" cries
some hardened companion who has
been in before. Everybody wears
them"
But I'll look so awful!'
"Who cares? Nobody will know you.
Then she gets into it, giggling furi-
ously. @Oh, [ Just can'tgo out in it"
"les, you must.
"But how can ?"
"Bah; noboay'll notice you in the
least"
"But I know I look perfectly dread
full"
3Well, everybody else looks so, too. :"
AIknow, but l" (giggle) shall die if I
see anybody know.
"You ready?"
"Yes, I-I-guess so! Oh, I just
don't believe I can go after all. Don't
l look awful?"
"Pooh! no! Come on
II can't bear to. lee, hee, hee, heel"
But she does, all the same, giggling
frantically until she reaches the water,
when she shrieks out:
"Oh, it's cold! Ugh! Hee, hee: I'll
look so awful when I'm wet. O-o-o-h,
it's dreadfully cold!
And when she comes out and is
dressed again she bores ever, body she
knows by saying over and over again:
"Oh, I think it's just lovely to bathe !!
Pm going in every da;. Isn't it fun?
l just love to lie down and let the waves
roll over NE! I amt one bit afraid
now! was awfully frightened at first !!
don't mind my looks one bit now! Id
like to have my photograph taken in
my bathing suit! 1t d be jolly fun,
wouldn't it? I got some water in my
mouth, and it isn't salty! Oh, it's just
splendid! I'm going in three times
some days! I believe it II do me good !!
Oh, I'm wild over bathingl It's just
too perfectly lovely and Jolly for any
thing. ."--Tid-Bits.

The Pirates Son.

The little story that we are going to
tell is about Pirates soI. and how he
turned out. It is very sad to have a
boy turn out different from what his
parents desire or expect-to take great
pains with his education and then have
him 60 square back on his bringing up.
Once there was q Pirate who had IN
only son. He dotted Oh the boy, and
wanted him to grow up and become 4
credit to his parents, sc he spared no
expense on his education. He not only
tutored the boy at home but sent him
to one of the best piratical schools in
the country six months in the wear.
He furnished him with the Pirates
Own" library, and introduced him to
the society of the most distinguished
buccaneers in the neighborhood, whose
conversation any boy might profit by,
but all to no avail, The more that
fond parent tried to fix him in the path
that would lead to piratical success the
more the boy would strive to thwart
his wishes.
When he should be learning the
quickest method of scuttling ship or
cutting throat, that boy would be dis
covered in corner immersed in Sun
day-school book, and he would steal
away from the society of the most in
structive corsairs to attend the meeting
of the Young Mems Christian Assoc:a-
ton. 1t is easy to guess the result OF
all this. The boy continued to disre-
gard the teaching, the remonstrances
and even the threats of his father, per-
sisting in following what he weakly
called o worthy career, until he finally
broke that poor Pirates heart, bring
ing his grey hairs down in sorrow to
the grave,-Tezas Sytimgs.

and I'll tell you how much he is de-

and I'll tell you how much he is de-
faulter.
All nonsense! Show me a mans wine
bill; let me know what brand of cigars
he uses, if he is under suspicion.
The cost OF all the trinkets and drap-
cries with which an honest wife de-
lights to environ herself will never
cause HIM embarrassment. The man
who loves his wife we'll enough to wish
her to shine aud excel among their So
cial surroundings is not going to black
en- her fame hopelessly by making her
husband thief.
A pretty woman loves pretty clothes
as naturally as flower blooms OF a
bird sings, and the man who can not
hold up that end Of the contract has
no right to make matrimonial engage
ments with them. There are plenty Of
good, homelj women who will be
thankful for smaller favors to make
such men happy.
Most men start out in double har-
ness With this idea, but are spoiled in
the running, and the wives are to
blame. TEc wise woman recognizes
this and doesn't allow it. If she needs
new riding habit, one of those hand
some but plain short skirt ones, she
asks him for the money to buy it. She
does not scrape and skimp herself of
other necessaries to surprise him by
riding out with him looking trim and
neat III gown that cost in his eyes
nothing. Any man with a mathe-
matical mind will soon do his figuring
from such premises in about this way
If one gown cost no dollars, how many
gowns can she get for no dollars more? ?
Answer: All her gowns. Thus many
best intentoned men are spoiled by
the best intentioned wives.
In the meantime he finds himself
with all the more money to spend on
his own adornment, and indulges in all
the latest masculine fads thrown on
the market. His yachting hannels and
silk hosiery are the envy OF his brother
5oatmen. His trousers show just the
proper looseness, while the fit of his
cut-away frock coat Will only yield the
palm to the jaunty perfection of his
business sack-coat. The next thing to
agitate the American mind will be an
effort to reinstate man in his natural
right of e1erting himself to provide
handsomely for his wife.
In arranging your winter wardrobe,
don't be afraid of bright colors. Scar
let cloaks or raglans will be often seen,
and the richest, warmeSt co'ors will be
used in the handsomest millinery.
"The Choker" is the latest collar. It
is fastened behind.
Large, long and loose are character
istics of winter cloaks.

S0mld Sense for the Girls.

The girl of the period seems to be
trifie more sensible than her sister OF
the last decade. Her boots are not
quite as pointed at the toe, and their
heels are not as distinctively "French.
She does not as ambitiously emulate
the camel in the wearing OF hump
upon her back, and she has discarded
the rats" and cushions which erst
were wont to make her coiffure into the
semblarce of pillows and holsters. Tn.
fortunately, h wever, she does not
yet realize that beauty is inconsistent
with pinched waist.
Admirable as the wasp may be in
his humble capacity as an insect, there
seems to be no legitimate reason for a
young woman's modelling herself upon
his figure; but the young woman In
sists upon doing so.
She is wont to express the most fer
vent admiration for the Venus of Milo;
but even at the moment when she
stands rapt in contemplation of the
grand creature she finds it difficult to
draw full breath, so tightly inclosed
is she in corsets.-
Napoleon T., who had as much COM
mon sense as military ability, was dis
mayed at the revival of the corset IN
1912. He said to an eminent physician
in regard to it: This wear, born of
coluetry and bad taste, which murders
women and ill-treats their offspring,
tells of frivolous tastes and warns me
of an approaching decadence. +"
Said the last King of France, in an
epigram which should have stung his
sub ects into common sense: Once
you met Dianas, Tenuses or Niobes;
nowadays, only wasps."
Beauty is always to be revered ane
sought after, and the woman might be
forgiven who, by torturing herself,
really attained true loveliness; but
when she attempts to improve upon
nature she merely defeats her own OBJ
ject. 1t is no more possible for her to
enhance her charms, save by healthful
living, than it is for river to run up
hill.
The unnatural is always the ugly; it
is but another name for defor,nity. The
human figure in the shape of a wasp is
as truly deformed as if its spinal col
umn described semi-circle.

WHO WROTE SHAKESPEARE9
How the Element of doubt" Leads to
Grand Achievements.

ANAo <-S1AS ShiSAtos
! The world is agitated again over the ques
ton oe who was the author Of Shakespeare
plays.
The world is full Of doubling Thomases
The man who has been successful in excit.
ing the present momentary interest in the
subject is, like lnost successful agitators, an
1rishman. He claims to have discovered Q
cipher running through the Shakesperiar
plays which proves them to have been writ
ten by Lord Bacon. 1t is also claimed that
there is cipher in the epitaph on the moss
grown tombstone, which, properly inter
preted, leads to the same conclusion.
This age shows decided inclination to pry
into mysteries.
1t can make no difference to Shakespeare
now whether the world believes he wrote the
plays that bear his name or not.
The plays are immortal.
Ignatius Donnell:y cannot rob us Of these
grand works. even though he should succeed
in robbing Shakesp care of his glory
Wereit not for doubting Thomases many
OF mans great accomplishments would never
have been brought to successful issue.
Men have been stricken down without
warning. Doubt put in motion the investi-
cation which asoertained the cause. After
the discovery of the cause, the world was
ignorant of any remedy with which to stay

ical science said it was impossible Doubt

led to further inquiry, which developed the
fact that the kidneys are the real blood -puri-

EXTRAVAGANZA IN DRESS.
BY ANNIE E. MYERS.

It is to be hoped they will some time
tire of ringing the changes about wom-
ems extravagances and follies. It is as
worn-out a subject as the terrible
mother-in-law. There is just about as
much basis of truth in the one as the
other. One paragrapher holds up his
hands and walls his eyes over the ruin
GUS cost of the average woman's dress,
walls that her jewels would bankrupt
any man, groans over her laces and is
positively iachrymose over her gloves
and shoes. One has gone so far as to
say: @Show me his wife's wardrobe
